Black American were strongly present in baseball from 1947 to 2000. Until the early 1980s baseball was the sport of choice for black American men. The rise to power and popularity of the nba and nfl in the 80s and 90s = young black men gradually dropping baseball and focusing on basketball and football.
Now if you watch mlb games, you notice there are still many black players in professional baseball . However they come from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Panama, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Colombia. They are Afro-Latinos.
